I don't disagree with you on that component of it existing. The thing about policy is usually somebody big is warning the public ahead of time that the "affordable healthcare bill" (for another example) isn't actually af

Thanks for the links. Why is the phrase "conspiracy theory" used for that though? Sounds like it's a value-judgement free decision from manufacturers to follow the incentives from the policy as we'd predict: way cheaper

It's not about retribution or revenge, but costs (which are way beyond just monetary). That's also why it's not up to the wronged personally to decide, but the State (the process; but other people, their peers). If the victim

Wow. This is at just the right level of abstraction for me.

Where is Xah Lee when you need him? His critiques of Emacs on this are spot on, imo. Helps that he backs up his claims (scattered around his site) with data and usability research. "If emacs just use standard keys for open close save,

Luckily developers tolerate less from other developers (sans Electron, whose existence IMO is justifiably owed to abysmal state of Desktop GUI programming). We have a bunch of Go and Rust tooling coming out for JS, for example.

Yep. But since you have it, install Chocolatey, using that to manage these next programs (and more, i try to install all my apps through it): * Install O&O ShutUp to turn all that garbage off. The suggested settings there are pretty goo

Look at the ROI. Any amount of performance loss users still tolerate equally, or sufficiently close enough, is prone to be optimized away by trading it away for developer productivity. It's a "supply curve" on a graph.

The reason why they have to at least pretend to play by the rules that are supposed to bind them as much as they do is because legitimacy is what keeps people from quitting the game, bringing it to a halt, and starting their own new games.

It can be very helpful to them as a form of regulatory capture, kicking the ladder down. It's why Walmart and Amazon were the biggest corporate supporters of raising minimum wage and getting stricter on Internet sales tax.

Are you saying it makes it easy to maintain patches parallel to the existing software? The difficulty keeping forks up to date (losing maintenance benefits of upstream work) and "re-basing"(?) the custom changes in a clear and cle

Your list of the extreme/woo edges is pretty well-rounded but it's Eurocentric and missing a few famous ones like Aum Shinrikyo, Sabbateans/Frankists, cargo cults, voodoo, etc. Also putting Islam, Catholicism, and LDS in the

How management in corporations now use that word has almost nothing to do with what it is supposed to (OODA Loop).

May as well get ahead of this, every time someone is yoinked from a platform: "If you don't like it, build your own <piece of underlying infrastructure>". [repeat recursively]. More productive comment: protocols > pl

Do the 50% of all small businesses that had to permanently close fit into your definition of "everyone"?

I appreciate it. I never used Godot. That makes sense. I thought you meant more like asset compression/conversion (images, audio, etc.).

Can you explain a bit more about the asset pipeline?

Problem is even if your manager's manager understands the value of it, his manager's manager doesn't, so time spent on it is seen as wasteful or "doing nothing" versus duct-taping things together for some poor sap t

All depends. No doubt the fringe is fixating on the 0.1% that doesn't make a difference. When it comes to hardware: if you have a great and clean signal chain, good ears, decent monitors +/ good room, good headphones, you can reco

I want this for TypeScript, but also for C#, and C++, who have all been modernizing quite quickly.

Thanks for that update, I heard about it only once years ago. Yeah safest thing is to assume it can't come back, and be aware of the accumulation, as you said.

Hearing loss is very serious. You know your body better than anyone else so don't be afraid to be its biggest advocate and protector. Nobody else will. I once had tinnitus for a week after a concert and it was one of the worst weeks of

Live 2D pricing for SDK was/is also ridiculous, as published on their site. I did the math a while back and they do by region, platform, etc - multiplied together (adds up quickly) and tiered by revenue. So if you want all regions and

I like it because it means they will never be my competition for anything but incredibly niche/domain-specific boomer software people have no choice but to begrudgingly use.

Try Deno anyway, if you haven't. The DX is very nice. I am very fast at cranking out small CLI tools -- and it gives binaries. Though sometimes I debate if Python is better for these tools, since it's so easy to get something goin

Good question, I'm wondering the the other way around.
